996	django-admin startproject myproject still create myproject\settings	vivian@…	Adrian Holovaty	"Dear Django,

I was trying to do the Django tutorial (using the sqlite3 database but I don't think it is important to what follows)
    django-admin startproject myproject

And Django complain after:
    django-admin init --settings=myproject.settings

After debugging a bit it appears that my settings was'nt read.

In the tutorial you ask for modification into:
    myproject/settings.py

But django-admin startproject myproject still create
    myproject/settings and
    myproject/settings/__init__.py

So the command ""import myproject/settings"" import myproject/settings/__init__.py instead of myproject/settings.py

If I delete myproject/settings think seems to go smoothly.

I know that few weeks ago you merged admin and main sites, I wonder if django-admin startproject has been updated since then.

Thanks very much for your nice project, nice web site and clear documentation it make me wanting to do web sites :-) with Python.
Consider this ticket as the expression of my gratefullness and my awkward whish to contribute.

Vivian.
